A six-year-old MacBook Pro is selling for under $430 — if you trust the listed retail price it's being discounted from.
StackSocial, a deals aggregator, is offering a grade-A refurbished 2020 13-inch MacBook Pro with a 10th Gen Intel Core i5 at 2GHz, 16GB of RAM, and a 1TB SSD for $429.97. The deal runs through July 1 or until stock runs out. The "original" price cited is $1,999 — a figure that traces to the listing itself, not a verified current retail price from Apple or any major retailer, since Apple discontinued this model years ago.
For buyers who need a capable Mac on a tight budget, the specs are still workable: Retina display with True Tone, Touch Bar, Touch ID, four Thunderbolt 3 ports, and rated 10 hours of battery. The catch is the Intel chip — Apple shifted its entire Mac lineup to Apple Silicon starting in late 2020, and the M-series machines that followed have substantially outpaced 10th Gen Intel on both performance and efficiency. Software support timelines for Intel Macs are also shortening.
Grade-A refurbished means near-mint cosmetics, but it's worth noting that Apple's own certified refurbished store — which carries stronger warranty coverage — sometimes lists current-generation hardware at competitive prices worth comparing first.
